If I already have a Bridge in my home, do I need another Bridge for another family member to play their music independently?

No. One bridge is sufficient. Each unit can be controlled separately through the same bridge
15171
No. One bridge covers all Sonos speakers and all sonos apps in your home. We have tablets and smartphones from 3 different people controlling all Sonos speakers in our home. All through one bridge.

No you do not. Each Sonos unit can play music independently via a single Bridge. You just need one Sonos Zone Player for each location.

The only reason for more than one bridge is if your wireless signal is not sufficiently strong in all parts of the house. I mistakenly thought that the Wi-Fi signal booster I was using for my home network would suffice. It does not. In this case, a second bridge is needed to boost the Wi-Fi signal to the Sonos speaker. Your clue will be that the speakers work fine when set close to the bridge that is hooked to the router, but they are not detected by the controller when moved away from the router. Solution: buy another Bridge and place it between the router and the speaker that is not being detected. You may have to add one bridge for each speaker if they are a long distance from the router.

No. You can play each speaker independently. The bridge is for sonos network to connect to your router.

No, one Sonos bridge should be sufficient if both speakers are within range.

These have both a bridge and router mode. So you can use them without an additional router.

If I remember correctly, you would need to disconnect the one whenever you want to use the other. I believe one of the reviewers mentioned it. I purchased this for my son & he has it set up on a separate TV in the game room.

A bridge and speakers are suffice to play music. In fact, with Play 1, you don't even need a bridge.Hope it helps.

Yes, unless you have FIOS, in which case the FIOS router is already a MoCA bridge.

You now only need a bridge or boost if you are connecting it to your tv. I just hooked up two Play5's and a sub wirelessly and it sounds awesome. Thankfully I have no neighbors.

The Connect is used to tie wired speakers into your wireless system. If you can hard wire the Connect to both the amp for your wired speakers and your router, you do not need a Bridge. My systems were too far apart. So, I got plugged the Bridge into my router and the Connect into my amp and VOILA they both work with the same controller!

You can only have 2 decks total connected at once. Because there are only two ins and two outs for decks. (Main in and out on the front is not for decks) For what you are describing you want the Audio 10.

Yes. I just purchased a second one and both are playing right now, one upstairs and the other downstairs. I bought the second one because I have been so pleased with the first.

I know that you can add at least 1 more of the same speaker, it also gives you a left and a right option for the speakers so that you could have one for the right channel and one for the left. I just have one and use it as a mono. One thing I will say is that i no longer use my speaker wireless. It was giving me wifi sensitivity (headaches/cloudy head) I know just use it as a portable speaker via 1/8 inch adapter and have hard wired my house where I used to use it wireless.

I brought ithem to my childrens music teacher and had her tune them and make sure all was right so that they could play them out of the box Christmas morning. They did need to be tuned, I am not sure if she had to adjust the bridge.

Ps. I know you can as we have two in our house. Usual one in the living room and the other in bedroom. Which we haven't experienced in conflict having two in same house.

My husband hooked this up. We have 2 speakers in and 2 outside. He said you just have to decide which ones you want to play together. So if you want the 5 inside to play together hook these up to the screws on either side marked A/B, then the outside ones would get hooked to the screws marked B. Now the 5 inside should play alone when position to A, the ouside ones should play when in B position, and they should all play when in th A/B position. Hope this helps.

You wouldn't need to do it like that. Sonos has the app set up to where any sonos player connected to your network (either through setting up through wifi after updating it or Ethernet) can be synced. So if you have a sonos in your living room and one in your patio, you can have them grouped into playing the same music/apps or you can have one play the radio and the other play mp3 playlists for example. If you are talking about daisy chaining for connected more speakers, I believe it would be easier to just get a normal receiver (5.1 or 7.2) and then connect a Sonos Connect to it, that you can have as many speakers as the reciever allows while also utilizing the sonos

Yes You do and the speakers do not work together wit another set. If you try and work two different sets for an ambiance sound only one will operate with the signal of the transmitter even if you have two transmitters. The companies surely take you on a ride but as a stand alone set , The speakers work fine as long as you have the dongle from the proprietor to match the speakers. The companies just don't care about doing anything to help the consumer enjoy their product unless you pay for each and every Piece of equipment and then it leaves you wanting. You would think that is would be illegal for them to sell an incomplete set of anything that will not work alone unless you wire them.

No, you should not run into any issue like that. We also have a free conference bridge line you can use. Dial 2663 from your DUO and outsider dial 786-289-8255

I'm not sure if you can use the bridge without a subscription. To set it up you need to set an account, but not sure if you need a subscription at that point.
